Shadow this lesson: play a line, pause, and repeat it out loud — matching speed and intonation.
Conversation Script
Driver
My car just stalled out on the highway and won't start again.
Dispatcher
Okay, don't panic, we can get a tow truck out to you shortly.
Driver
Thank goodness, I was starting to worry I'd be stuck here for hours.
Dispatcher
Can you tell me your exact location or the nearest mile marker?
Driver
I'm right past exit twelve, pulled over onto the shoulder.
Dispatcher
Got it, and is your car in a safe spot away from traffic?
Driver
Yeah, I moved it as far onto the grass as I could.
Dispatcher
Smart move, that'll keep you out of harm's way until help arrives.
Driver
How long until the truck actually shows up, roughly speaking?
Dispatcher
It looks like about forty minutes, depending on traffic conditions.
Driver
Ugh, that's a while, but I guess I don't have much choice.
Dispatcher
I know it's frustrating, but the driver will call you before he arrives.
Driver
Alright, and should I try anything myself while I'm waiting around?
Dispatcher
Just turn on your hazard lights and stay inside the vehicle if possible.
